Hi friends!
I hope everyone is staying put (as must as possible) and saying healthy. This is a strange time in the world so we need to stick together and support one another. Obviously, the most important thing right now is keeping America (& the world) safe and as healthy as possible, but quarantining can have lots of negative effects..
I asked you all earlier today how I can be praying for you right now. Some of the prayer requests I received broke my heart and I’ve prayed over each and every one of them.
How can we come together to pray for others? Keep these people in mind when saying your prayers tonight:
– At risk groups: the elderly, pregnant women and those with lower than normal immune systems
– Small business owners
– Those who had to cancel graduations, weddings, other milestone events
– All healthcare professionals that are on the front line of this pandemic
– Grocery store workers
– Teachers that are trying out remote learning for the first time
– Parents balancing kids out of school / their own work
– Those struggling with anxiety during this time
– Financial peace: many are not receiving a paycheck until this all calms down
How can we support small businesses during this time?
– Order a gift card for future use
– Online shop
– Place a food order at restaurant and pick up / go through drive-thru
– Post and share small businesses on social platforms
– Write a positive review
Who are some small businesses that need support during this time?
– Spoiled Rotten Boutique / Southern Made Tees
– Cyclebar Knoxville
– The Creek Cafe in Jefferson City, TN
– All photographers, videographers, bloggers
– Lillie & Rose Beauty Co.
– Salt of the Earth Boutique in Morristown, TN
– Little Happy (Children’s Boutique)
– Travel agents – maybe book trips for fall / Christmas break ahead of time
– Don Gallo Mexican Grill
– Shae Design Studio
– Lulu’s Tearoom
– Sullivan’s Restaurant
– Olive Vine Boutique
– Lovely Letter Co.
– Aubrey’s Restaurant
We’re all in this together!!!
XOXO,
Laura Elizabeth
